Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, the Indian team has confirmed its place in the semi -finals of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. However, a major setback for Team India has come out before the semi -finals.
Hitman Rohit Sharma’s Hamstring Injury is still not completely cured.
He was hurt in the match against Pakistan on 23 February, due to which he had to stay outside the field for some time.
Now on March 2, the league stage is to be held against New Zealand, but it will be just a formality as both teams have already reached the semi -finals.

Rohit Sharma left the batting practice session
According to Cricbuzz report, Rohit Sharma did not participate in the recent batting practice session.
He was only present on the field, but did not practice.
It is believed that he has taken this decision to prevent his injury from growing further.
Team India’s medical team is keeping a close watch on Rohit’s fitness.
Shubman Gill’s fitness is also a matter of concern
Apart from Rohit Sharma, concerns about vice-captain Shubman Gill have also increased.
Gill also did not join the practice session as he feels unwell.
It is not yet clear how serious Gill’s problem is.
If both players do not fit, India may have to make changes in the playing XI in the semi -finals.
Good news: Rishabh Pant and Mohammed Shami return
Rishabh Pant has recovered from fever and batted fiercely on the nets on Wednesday.
Mohammed Shami also bowled with full force, which has removed the apprehensions about his fitness.
In the match against Pakistan, Shami went out of the field after throwing just three overs, but now he seems to be completely fit.
Battle to become number-1 against New Zealand
On March 2, India and New Zealand clash will be to top the points table.
Both teams have not lost a single match in the tournament so far.
This match will be a fight not just formality but also to become number-1.
